It’s safe to say this year’s been a phenomenal one for the New York natives. FUN., made up of Nate Ruess (vocals), Andrew Dost (keys) and Jack Antonoff (guitar), have just completed a sold out UK tour and they’ve been selling-out shows worldwide for most the year! The band’s huge breakthrough single ‘We Are Young’ became the anthem of summer 2012, after it reached #1 in the UK Official Singles Chart and became the most streamed track on Spotify over the summer months.

The official video has received over a staggering 140 MILLION views on the band’s YouTube channel and the track has now sold over 8.5 million copies worldwide! The band’s latest album Some Nights has now surpassed 1 million sales worldwide.

FUN. have landed themselves an array of big TV appearances over the past year, with performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, David Letterman, Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross and many more. They also racked up a couple of nominations at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards in the ‘Best New Artist’ and ‘Best Pop Video’ categories. Additionally, the band will be performing at the MTV European Music Awards in Frankfurt on November 11th where they’re nominated for ‘Best Song’, ‘Best New’ and ‘Best Push’.

FUN. began in 2008 when the band assembled diverse inspirations into their own irresistible and freewheeling pop songcraft. The band drew immediate attention for their contemporary rethinking of classic 70's pop, where ornate arrangements and inspired orchestrations meet present-day rock 'n' roll. They decided to raise the stakes with Some Nights by teaming with noted producer Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Drake).
